Injured man dumped on road in Tongatapu dies

Mate ha tangata na'e pehē ne ma'u atu 'oku ne lavea lahi 'i Ha'atafu he 'aho Sāpate'

A man believed to be in his 20s who was found dumped on a road in the outskirts of Hihifo has died in hospital.

Local media have reported a man was found with serious injuries in Ha’atafu on Sunday.

He was rushed to hospital, but authorities could not be able to immediately identify him, the reports said.

Facebook users have identified the deceased and his mother and shared his photos on Facebook this morning.

We chose not to release that identification at this stage until we could be able to make contact with authorities.

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans  wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
